Share your application setup
There are situations where you want to document or share (eventually with yourself) the list of all applications packages you have installed on your Ubuntu Linux system. To do that you have a 2 step process: document the packages and document the repositories. A sensible approach is to do that in a "ready to install" way. With a little help from AskUbuntu, here is the solution:
As usual YMMV
References: Packages, Repositories
#! /bin/sh
# Run this on the source system
sudo dpkg --get-selections > ~ /Desktop /packages
# Run this on the target system (after copying the packages list and activating the repository
sudo dpkg --set-selections < ~ /Desktop /packages && sudo apt-get -u dselect-upgrade
And for the list of repositories:
# Run this on the source system
sudo dpkg --get-selections > ~ /Desktop /packages
# Run this on the target system (after copying the packages list and activating the repository
sudo dpkg --set-selections < ~ /Desktop /packages && sudo apt-get -u dselect-upgrade
#! /bin/sh
# listrepositories - script to get all the repositories incl ppa installed on a system
# ready to be reloaded using apt-add-repository
for APT in ` find /etc /apt / -name *.list `; do
grep -Po "(?<=^deb\s).*?(?=#|$)" $APT | while read ENTRY ; do
HOST= ` echo $ENTRY | cut -d / -f3 `
USER= ` echo $ENTRY | cut -d / -f4 `
PPA= ` echo $ENTRY | cut -d / -f5 `
#echo sudo apt-add-repository ppa:$USER/$PPA
if [ "ppa.launchpad.net" = "$HOST" ]; then
echo sudo apt-add-repository ppa: $USER / $PPA
else
echo sudo apt-add-repository \' ${ENTRY} \'
fi
done
done
You need to # listrepositories - script to get all the repositories incl ppa installed on a system
# ready to be reloaded using apt-add-repository
for APT in ` find /etc /apt / -name *.list `; do
grep -Po "(?<=^deb\s).*?(?=#|$)" $APT | while read ENTRY ; do
HOST= ` echo $ENTRY | cut -d / -f3 `
USER= ` echo $ENTRY | cut -d / -f4 `
PPA= ` echo $ENTRY | cut -d / -f5 `
#echo sudo apt-add-repository ppa:$USER/$PPA
if [ "ppa.launchpad.net" = "$HOST" ]; then
echo sudo apt-add-repository ppa: $USER / $PPA
else
echo sudo apt-add-repository \' ${ENTRY} \'
fi
done
done
listrepositories > addrep.sh to get the script to copy to the target system
